What about Chuck?


Our hens go broody every spring and hatch out an abundance of little ones.  My daughter always ends up taking at least one of them in to mother for various reasons.  This year it was Chuck.  Chuck was over loved by a visiting child and couldn't walk for about three weeks.  After she recovered, we put her back with her mom who refused to have anything to do with her.  She was too young to be on her own, so we put her in the brooder with all of the ducklings and the mama duck.  They took to her like a duck to...well anyways..


Chuck thinks she's a duck.  We've caught her in the water bowl trying to swim with the ducklings.  Poor thing.  She still sleeps with the ducks, eats with the ducks and walks with the ducks all day long.  I haven't the heart to break it to her yet.
